Aw, you so nearly managed to hang onto the moral highground for a few minutes.

**TheOneWhoKnocks** · 12/07/2015, 3:49 PM

Anyone know any good nightclubs or pubs in Liverpool?

How does a Kokanee sound?

So, today I learned that the Easter island heads are actually full bodies buried neck deep.

Every day's a school day. I feel quite stupid for not ever having considered the possibility.

Like someone pronouncing 'Coke can' wrong.

I remember hearing about that when they made the initial discovery and my god it was mind blowing.

Somewhere in Iceland an Irishman shudders. He doesn't know why.

Just booked my tickets to this: www.icelandairwaves.is

Really looking forward to this and of course the apparently beautiful country with incredible football.

"Russian Girls" I thought looked interesting until I put my browser over the link to reveal a geek (male) with a dog!

Another Costanza meeting another bullplop answer. SUCCESS!

Since I got back home I've been to Inchicore on Friday, Croker yesterday and got back to Maynooth tonight. Really enjoying this time at home, oh, and Hill of Tara and Trim Castle Saturday. Braveheart festival was fun, but surprised almost nobody heard of it!

for some reason it surprised me just how good the film Casablanca is

And of course you'll be there again on Saturday?

My dad is as huge a Bogart fan as they come and for years "All Through The Night" was easily one of my favourite films. Still is to some extent. But for some reason despite seeing so much of his stuff I never actually sat through "Casablanca" in its totality until last year. But my God it is spectacular.

The script, the acting. It's a prime example of "They don't make them like athat anymore". Stunning.

Also, getting that thanks from ya Gustavo was a nice fillip to the morning. Welcome back.

Anyone else download Windows 10 - first impressions?

I still haven't. Currently wading through months of updates for 8.1 I didn't bother with.

Considering taking the plunge myself, but the only thing worrying me is a supposed issue with privacy settings. In a nutshell, Microsoft are keeping track of all user data and privacy settings for use with upgrades.

**NeverFeltBetter** · 05/08/2015, 3:40 PM

All of that stuff is quite irritating, more in that such little effort is taken to inform the user. It can all be all be turned off without too much bother, but you have to be told what to look for, some of it is buried in sub-menus of sub-menus of sub-menus. The "WiFi Sense" stuff is what annoys me more (five menus deep from the desktop), but I toggled all that stuff to "Off" the moment I booted up the OS proper.

As for impressions, its fine. I skipped 8 entirely, so the apps take a bit of getting used to, but the interface isn't that far removed from 7. Once I got Chrome and Office going, I was happy with it. I have had this strange glitch where the task manager tells me 100% of the CPU is being used, when it really isn't (or else its the smoothest running 100% ever) but that's about it.

Tried to put in the codes on sky to get BBC Wales for the eggball game on Saturday...can get every bloody BBC channel under the sun EXCEPT for BBC One Wales. Tis quite annoying.

Oh, it's one of those films that has everything. Up there on my list of all-time favourites. There aren't many who could hold a candle to Bogart, and Ingrid Bergman was simply luminous. Always felt sorry for Peter Lorre (Hnk! Hnk!) You should see him in M to really appreciate how brilliant an actor he was.

Welcome back.

Serves you right for watching egg chase.
